Spill control is a critical priority across industries such as manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, and chemical handling. Whether dealing with oils, fuels, chemicals, or general liquids, uncontrolled spills create safety hazards, damage assets, and disrupt operations. For importers, distributors, and companies operating within Africa’s fast-growing industrial sectors, having the right spill control measures in place is essential for compliance and operational efficiency.

Wigmore Trading supports businesses across Africa with reliable spill control products, bulk procurement solutions, and logistics services designed to minimise risk and keep work environments safe.

Why Spill Control Matters in Industrial and Commercial Environments

Liquid spills—whether minor drips or major leaks—can lead to accidents, contamination, and costly downtime. Common risks include:

• Slip hazards for staff and visitors

• Damage to stored inventory and equipment

• Environmental contamination

• Regulatory non-compliance, especially in sectors like oil & gas, manufacturing, and transport

With increasing safety expectations across African industries, companies must invest in high-quality spill containment products and well-structured response plans. Wigmore Trading can help businesses source certified and cost-effective spill control materials suitable for their specific operations.

Key Spill Control Products Businesses Should Use

A strong spill management strategy includes a combination of prevention, containment, and cleanup tools. Common spill control products include:

Absorbent Pads and Rolls

Ideal for soaking up oils, fuels, coolants, and general liquids in workshops, warehouses, and loading areas. These are essential for day-to-day spill prevention and quick response.

Spill Socks and Booms

Designed to contain spreading spills. Socks prevent liquid migration around machinery, while booms offer larger-scale containment for industrial or marine applications.

Spill Kits

Compact kits that combine absorbents, disposal bags, gloves, and tools for fast cleanup. Wigmore Trading supplies spill kits in various sizes suitable for vehicles, warehouses, ports, and fuel depots.

Drip Trays and Spill Pallets

Used for safe storage of drums and chemical containers. These products prevent leaks from reaching floors, reducing contamination and fire risks.

Chemical Neutralisers

For handling hazardous chemicals such as acids and alkalis. These support safe and compliant disposal.

Wigmore Trading can help you source all these spill control products in bulk, ensuring consistency, compliance, and cost savings.

Building an Effective Spill Response Plan

Beyond sourcing quality products, businesses must implement proper procedures. A strong spill response plan should include:

• Correct product placement at high-risk locations

• Clear staff training on spill identification and containment

• Regular replenishment of absorbents and spill kits

• Routine inspections of chemical storage areas

• Waste disposal protocols that meet local regulations

Wigmore Trading supports companies with bulk supply, product selection guidance, and efficient delivery across Africa, ensuring your spill control programmes remain effective and compliant.
